Ingredients

• 1 head (medium, chopped) green cabbage
• 3 medium (peeled and sliced) carrots
• 3 chopped celery stalks
• 1 large (diced) yellow onion
• 4 cloves (minced) garlic
• 28 oz (1 can, with juice) diced tomatoes
• 6 cups vegetable broth

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 tsp (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 bay leaves
• 0.25 tsp (optional, for heat) red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, slice the carrots, dice the onion, chop the celery, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, celery, and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 3

In the crock pot, combine the chopped cabbage, sautéed vegetables, sliced carrots, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, and tomato paste.

Step 4

Add the dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the crock pot. Stir everything well to combine.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed (add more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning to taste). Discard the bay leaves before serving.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
